The best waterside campgrounds near Klamath Falls, Oregon

Hidden in sunny southern Oregon, Klamath Falls is a crossroads of outdoor wonders in the Cascade Range high country. Camping here places you a rock-skip away from Lake of the Woods, Lava Beds National Monument, and world-famous Crater Lake. When you see Crater Lake, you can't help but gawk—it's the deepest lake on the continent, surrounded by 200-foot cliffs. Formed by an ancient volcanic eruption, the striking water body has become a mecca for outdoor recreation. Head to Crater Lake National Park for unforgettable boating, hiking, and camping—all just 60 miles from Klamath Falls. You find more tent camping spots throughout the vast Fremont-Winema National Forest. Pull into a campground nestled beneath snow-capped peaks, or pitch your tent in the wooded backcountry. For secluded high country camping, discover Lake of the Woods. Aspen Point Campground gives you easy access to hiking, canoeing, or lounging on the beach. At Sunset Campground, you can roast marshmallows in a conifer forest with views of Mt. McLoughlin. If you're looking for convenience , set up camp right in Klamath Falls. Local RV parks and campgrounds place you in pastures or cattle ranches. Others lie on the Banks of the Klamath River—the envy of whitewater rafters everywhere. Keep in mind most campgrounds are open May through September. If you're willing to brave the mountain winter, book a heated cabin or yurt. For the rare pleasure of cross-country skiing on snow-covered Crater Lake, bundling up is worth the effort.

National forest 111mi from Klamath Falls · 736 sites

The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is made up of 1.8 million acres and spans from the Western Cascades to the Siskiyou Mountains. With somewhere between 60 to 100 inches of rain per year this escape is filled with a diversity of green and a lone Rogue River. Port Orford Cedar and Douglas fir practically litter the mountainous, and meadow landscapes. Lakes and streams (200 miles of them) aren’t too uncommon, and the forest boasts the tallest Pine tree in the World (we’re not kidding folks). The Ponderosa Pine stands at 268.35ft, which is a little bit taller than your average industrial wind turbine.
